It is normally initiated using \fBcron\fR. \fBrunacct\fR processes connect, fee, disk, and process accounting files. It also prepares summary files for \fBprdaily\fR or billing purposes. \fBrunacct\fR is distributed only to source code licensees. .sp .LP \fBrunacct\fR takes care not to damage active accounting files or summary files in the event of errors. It records its progress by writing descriptive diagnostic messages into \fBactive\fR. When an error is detected, a message is written to \fB/dev/console\fR, mail (see \fBmail\fR(1)) is sent to \fBroot\fR and \fBadm\fR, and \fBrunacct\fR terminates. \fBrunacct\fR uses a series of lock files to protect against re-invocation. The files \fBlock\fR and \fBlock1\fR are used to prevent simultaneous invocation, and \fBlastdate\fR is used to prevent more than one invocation per day. .sp .LP \fBrunacct\fR breaks its processing into separate, restartable \fIstates\fR using \fBstatefile\fR to remember the last \fIstate\fR completed. It accomplishes this by writing the \fIstate\fR name into \fBstatefile\fR. \fBrunacct\fR then looks in \fBstatefile\fR to see what it has done and to determine what to process next. \fIstates\fR are executed in the following order: .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBSETUP\fR\fR .ad .RS 14n .rt Move active accounting files into working files. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBWTMPFIX\fR\fR .ad .RS 14n .rt Verify integrity of \fBwtmpx\fR file, correcting date changes if necessary. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBCONNECT\fR\fR .ad .RS 14n .rt Produce connect session records in \fBtacct.h\fR format. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBPROCESS\fR\fR .ad .RS 14n .rt Convert process accounting records into \fBtacct.h\fR format. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBMERGE\fR\fR .ad .RS 14n .rt Merge the connect and process accounting records. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBFEES\fR\fR .ad .RS 14n .rt Convert output of \fBchargefee\fR into \fBtacct.h\fR format, merge with connect, and process accounting records. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBDISK\fR\fR .ad .RS 14n .rt Merge disk accounting records with connect, process, and fee accounting records. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBMERGETACCT\fR\fR .ad .RS 14n .rt Merge the daily total accounting records in \fBdaytacct\fR with the summary total accounting records in \fB/var/adm/acct/sum/tacct\fR. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBCMS\fR\fR .ad .RS 14n .rt Produce command summaries. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBUSEREXIT\fR\fR .ad .RS 14n .rt Any installation dependent accounting programs can be included here. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBCLEANUP\fR\fR .ad .RS 14n .rt Clean up temporary files and exit. To restart \fBrunacct\fR after a failure, first check the \fBactive\fR file for diagnostics, then fix any corrupted data files, such as \fBpacct\fR or \fBwtmpx\fR. The \fBlock\fR, \fBlock1\fR, and \fBlastdate\fR files must be removed before \fBrunacct\fR can be restarted. The argument \fImmdd\fR is necessary if \fBrunacct\fR is being restarted. \fImmdd\fR specifies the month and day for which \fBrunacct\fR will rerun the accounting. The entry point for processing is based on the contents of \fB statefile\fR; to override this, include the desired \fIstate\fR on the command line to designate where processing should begin. .RE .SH EXAMPLES .LP \fBExample 1 \fRStarting \fBrunacct\fR .sp .LP The following example starts \fBrunacct\fR: .sp .in +2 .nf example% nohup runacct 2> /var/adm/acct/nite/fd2log & .fi .in -2 .sp .LP \fBExample 2 \fRRestarting \fBrunacct\fR .sp .LP The following example restarts \fBrunacct\fR: .sp .in +2 .nf example% nohup runacct 0601 2>> /var/adm/acct/nite/fd2log & .fi .in -2 .sp .LP \fBExample 3 \fRRestarting \fBrunacct\fR at a Specific State .sp .LP The following example restarts \fBrunacct\fR at a specific state: .sp .in +2 .nf example% nohup runacct 0601 MERGE 2>> /var/adm/acct/nite/fd2log & .fi .in -2 .sp .SH FILES .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB/var/adm/wtmpx\fR\fR .ad .sp .6 .RS 4n History of user access and administration information .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB/var/adm/pacct\fR\fIincr\fR\fR .ad .sp .6 .RS 4n .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB/var/adm/acct/nite/active\fR\fR .ad .sp .6 .RS 4n .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB/var/adm/acct/nite/daytacct\fR\fR .ad .sp .6 .RS 4n .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB/var/adm/acct/nite/lock\fR\fR .ad .sp .6 .RS 4n .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB/var/adm/acct/nite/lock1\fR\fR .ad .sp .6 .RS 4n .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB/var/adm/acct/nite/lastdate\fR\fR .ad .sp .6 .RS 4n .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB/var/adm/acct/nite/statefile\fR\fR .ad .sp .6 .RS 4n .RE .SH ATTRIBUTES .sp .LP See \fBattributes\fR(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: .sp .sp .TS tab() box; cw(2.75i) |cw(2.75i) lw(2.75i) |lw(2.75i) .
